Going back to the roots of it all, theWYLDshop was founded by the ever so bubbly and stylish Kara Bensley-Austin. Raised from down under, Kara noticed an interesting demand in the Asian market when she moved to Singapore four years ago. Kara discovered women were searching for unique, edgy and fun fashion pieces, which catered for every aspect of their busy lifestyle, but needed them to be affordable and easily accessible. That’s when theWYLDshop was born - bringing you the best curated fashion brands online, straight from Australia to your door.
Fast forward a few years on, today Kara has partnered up with our stunning sociable director - Dhillon! She holds a sound knowledge of the local market with experience and skills in marketing, advertising and brand management. The WYLD team is made up of energetic fashion enthusiasts who embody an array of skills, who are quirky, who are fun and who are super creative. We understand that confidence is ignited through comfortability, and we believe that feeling amazing is just as important looking amazing!
theWYLDshop.com is an online destination showcasing an eclectic mix of quality Australian High Street Fashion & Accessories. Our platform has become a way to introduce a curated mix of on-trend and affordable style from Aussie cult brands like MINKPINK, Le Specs and Paint it Red, catering to the diverse lifestyle of today's fashionista who loves everything high-street but is looking for an urban edge. theWYLDshop.com is dedicated to making your online and offline shopping experiences with us, fun and easy.
We love our fashion but above all we love our people and care very much about how our people feel in our pieces. We look forward to sharing our WYLD and wonderful journey with you, we hope you enjoy the entries of our crazy and exhilarating world.
